    Default What Will Happen After You're Picked Up for a Probation Violation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia She is on felony probation in Gwinnett county and got arrested in Savannah for possession of meth and heroin. She spent 9 months in Chatham county and finally signed a plea of times served and 2 years probation. Then Gwinnett county came and picked her up for the violation. My question is what are the next steps and what do you think will happen to her now. Being that she spent 9 months already I would hope that would be enough jail time. This is her first violation and only second time ever being in trouble with the law. Thankyou for any response anyone might have.

    Default Re: Girlfriend is Incarcerated Due to Violation

    What you feel is enough time is irrelevant. And there’s always first time, even with serial killers. Do you think a killer deserves special consideration because it’s their first time? I don’t think so.

    What was the original crime and sentence?

    Probation is an agreement between the court and the defendant. The defendant promises to not break the rules and laws in exchange for court not sending them to prison or jail. Your girlfriend broke the agreement so rightfully she should serve the original sentence. I don’t know your rules well enough to say but her incarceration may not count towards time served since it was based on the arrest of a different crime.

    For general possibilities, read this. For what is likely to happen in a specific criminal case, the defendant should discuss the details with her lawyer.
